Building Collective Redress in Europe: Seeking Solutions for the Environment and Climate

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Collective redress mechanisms have been part of EU law for several decades. They focus on strengthening the position of the “weaker party” in litigation, especially in the consumer and competition fields. More recently, the EU has also tried to introduce collective redress mechanisms to the environmental protection sector, where they are known under the term “access to justice in environmental matters”. However, neither the legislative nor the interpretative attempts have so far proved successful. This article aims to uncover possible reasons for this failure, and to examine whether and on what conditions environmental law and emerging climate law are fitting sectors for collective redress mechanisms. To that end, the article analyses the main functions and objectives of environmental and climate harm cases, from the perspective of collective redress patterns. As a result, it suggests that when environmental collective redress is addressed, a distinction should be drawn between harms to persons and harms to the environment.
